Description
The current crisis is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that challenges traditional notions of state power and agency. In our increasingly globalized world, the capacity of nation-states to shape events has been significantly eroded.
This erosion of power has led to a paradoxical situation where governments are unable to effectively address the problems they face, while citizens have become increasingly disillusioned with their ability to deliver on promises. The result is a crisis that affects not only politics but also our trust in institutions and our sense of agency.
State of Crisis offers a thought-provoking analysis of this predicament by two leading social thinkers. Bauman and Bordoni explore the social and political dimensions of the current crisis, arguing that it has its roots in deeper transformations that stretch back further than recent economic turmoil.
